The Dark ages was titled the Dark Ages becuase of the lack of knowladge abou this time period, as well as the religous struggle being faced. The Protesants and the Catholics had opposites veiws along with ideas. The Protestants wanted to transform the Catholics back into good Christians, though the catholics did not want to change, they thought they were fine the way they were.Intelectual thinkers thought of religion as darkness because they thoguht those who followed religion were lying to themselves and creating a false reality. They saw religion as the contrary if fact and reason. http://www.allabouthistory.org/the-dark-ages.htm (Shelley M)
The Medieval Period is called dark because religion was the basis for everything.
